Immunohistochemical staining of PRL-3 expression in gastric cancer. A. Negative control; B. PRL-3 mild expression in gastric carcinoma (x200); C. PRL-3 moderate expression in gastric carcinoma (x200); D. Cellular location of PRL-3 expression, mainly localized in the cytomembrane with some granulated loci in cytoplasm (x400, magnification of D.); E. Intense expression of PRL-3 in the primary gastric carcinoma (x200); F. PRL-3 expression in matched liver metastasis developed 2 years after surgery (x200, E and F are from the same patient).
